JOHN 13:3-5 ~ Jesus knowing that the Father had givn all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; (4) He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel and girded himself. (5) After that he poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

(KNOWLEDGE OF SELF-WORTH AND TRUE HUMILITY WORK TOGETHER FOR THE SERVICE OF OTHERS)

Jesus knew that the Father had given all things into His hands.  He knew that He had come from God and was going back to God, and because of this He was able to rise from the supper, lay aside His garments and wash the disciples feet.  He was able to become as a servant, he was able to be lied on, talked about and ridiculed for His Father's sake.  He was able to die on Calvary's cross SIMPLE BECAUSE, HE KNEW WHO HE WAS, He is the son of God, the living God, the all existing one.

Jesus didnt avoid compliments, or run from the knowledge of Himself, He didnt pretend that he was less than what He knew Himself to be nor did He apoligize for the truth about Himself.  He took what he knew (because knowledge is power) and defeated the devil, he defeated death and the world.  Although it was hard at times and He was weak at times, He was able to endure until the end, SIMPLE BECAUSE He know who He is. 

Knowing who we are and the awareness of our personal worth should make us want to serve the almighty God with power.  We've been called with a purpose not of our own the will of God must and will be performed in our lives but It's up to us to reach our destiny!  We serve an almighty God, along with His son Jesus and God has sent us a comforter ~ we're children of a king, so let's act like and take the world and the devil by storm.  All things are possible and will come to pass SIMPLE BECAUSE we know who we are IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD!
